Chest and Waist

Measure the chest size and select an appropriate STD fit size from the size chart. If towards bottom of the chest measurement range for a size, start by trying the size down.

Step 2

Before trying on, loosen the side adjustments to the maximum allowance. Once on, insert thumbs into the armholes to bring the two sides together and to help make doing up the zip easier.

Step 3

Tighten the side adjustments by pulling down on the elastic cord and sliding up the lock.

Front & Body Length

Step 4

At the front, the Body Protector should reach up to the breastbone and cover the bottom rib at mid chest. The front length should not restrict movement within the range of a riding position. The body protector should sit off the hips at the side with a neat fit over the shoulders.

Back Length

Step 5

Check the back length by sitting on a saddle and ensure the Body Protector does not hit the saddle or impede movement. There should be approximately a hands width between the saddle and the bottom of the Body Protector. It should be possible to lean back in a balanced position without the bottom of the body protector catching the saddle.

Or measure the required back length from the prominent C7 vertebra at the base of the neck down to where the body protector should finish. Refer to the size chart to choose correct back option for that size.

Chest and Waist FAQs

The size suggested by the size chart based on the chest measurement is loose?

If towards bottom of the chest measurement range for a size, start by trying the size down. There is an overlap between a number of the sizes within the range of adjustment.

Front & Body Length FAQs

The bottom row of foam doesn’t cover my bottom rib.

Try the Tall fit of the size if available. This has one extra row of front foam compared to the standard size.

Or the made to measure options available to lengthen the front are-

A full row added to the front. Suitable where the full row width is required & the extra length will not cause the body protector to sit on the hips at the side & push up.

A tapered/angled row added. Suitable where the extra length is required to cover the ribs at the front but a reduced width at the side prevents the body protector sitting on the hips and pushing up. This is a more common adjustment.

The body protector is sitting up off the shoulders.

This is usually a result of the body protector being too long in the body and/or back.

Firstly, check that the size down is not a better fit.

Check that it is the standard fit rather than the tall fit being tried.

For sizes Large & Ex Large, try the Ladies Fit option.

Check the back is the correct length. A back too long can catch and generally push the body protector up, preventing a neat fit over the shoulders.

Or the made to measure options available to shorten the front are-

A full row removed from the front. Suitable where the removal of the full width will still allow the ribs to be covered.

Tapering of the bottom row. Suitable where the removal of a whole row would expose the ribs. Angling the front row up off the hips, helping the body protector sit down neatly. This is a more common adjustment.

Back Length FAQs

Is there an exact length the back should be?

The exact back length is a personal preference. The ideal balance is long enough to offer protection without becoming too long as to restrict movement or catch the saddle. The correct length will depend on factors such as the depth of the saddle seat and the range of movement required by each discipline.

"I tried this on at my local shop but they didn't have a short tailed one in stock and it would have taken 2-3 weeks to order. But Wychanger got it to me within 24 hours and even phoned me to check the size;a very friendly and helpful service. Also the body protector is comfortable and I feel safe in it."
